The pulley has a maximum load capacity of 15kg. Always ensure the load does not exceed this limit for safe operation.
What type of rope can I use with this pulley?
This pulley is suitable for general-purpose ropes and cords. The diameter of the rope should allow it to sit comfortably in the pulley's groove without excessive pinching or slipping.
Is this pulley suitable for outdoor use?

Does it come with mounting hardware?
Yes, the pulley is designed for use with brickwork and includes the necessary fixings for installation.
What is the breaking force of the pulley?
The pulley has a breaking force of 60kg. This indicates the point at which the pulley is likely to fail, and it should always be used well below this limit.
Can this pulley be used for heavy-duty tasks?

Troubleshooting
Pulley wheel is stiff or not spinning freely.
Check for any debris caught in the wheel or housing. Clean thoroughly. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of light oil to the axle.
Rope or cord is not running smoothly.
Ensure the rope or cord is not too thick for the pulley groove. Check that the rope is not frayed or catching on anything.
Pulley appears to be rusting.
While zinc-plated, prolonged extreme exposure can affect the finish. Clean any rust spots gently and consider applying a protective coating if necessary.
Fixings are not secure.
Ensure the correct type of fixings are used for the mounting surface. If mounting on brickwork, ensure wall plugs are used and the screws are tightened appropriately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
